The Discord server in question claims "we got over 1,000 server boosts" [0]. That's Discord's monetization scheme, a sort of server-specific patreon subscription that users opt into, to collectively unlock features for that server specifically.

Judging by the going rate for "server boosts", Discord would have easily had $5,000 a month in revenue tied to that server [1].

>Aside: I’d also like to see a command line shell which runs outside the terminal emulator rather than inside it.

The problem with such a shell would be that all the simple utilities and tools one likes to use in a shell will not work without a tty (or pty or fake-pty-conhost.exe). So the shell by itself would be pretty useless.

This theoretical shell and its family of utilities would all have to emulate terminal emulators by using something of a common library of wrappers around tty functionality. At that point you've re-invented cygwin for your OS of choice. And you're going to be running the same kinds of stuff you'd run in a real terminal emulator.

I'm not being snarky. I gave this kind of thing a lot of thought many years ago when I was thinking of native GUI unix-style shells on Windows.

Unless you have a different use case in mind for this shell ?
> You say you want free speech yet people can't even invest in your own hardware.

We already have the hardware. A modern phone has as much computing power as an early server. Computing power isn't what's lacking, it's the permission to use it.

Will Apple and our ISP's allow p2p networking using our own hardware? Apple denied bitcoin wallets from the app store because "reasons". Many ISP's have policies against hosting servers.

The real solution to this is the decentralized web and it too can be clamped down by a handful of companies. If these companies want to act like publishers they should be treated as such.
Intermittent fasting(16/8) was the start of what seem to be blood sugar related issues for me. Ever since I tried it, I get insanely tired after a meal. I had bouts of hypoglycemia as a kid, but that resolved until after trying IF. Now my blood sugar regulation seems wonky. My fatigue is worse since then as well. I've checked my glucose levels when the fatigue hits and they're fine(<120mg/dL). IF didn't have an effect on my weight either.
That's really interesting, I should look into that pattern, maybe it can be applied elsewhere (I have to maintain a vb6 application at work, and I'm not terribly interested in doing that anymore).

Yeah working with redux sucks in general imo, I try to avoid it when I can. If I can get away with it, I try to avoid the problem entirely by using hasura as a backend. But sometimes that's not viable.
Thoughts and Prayers: a short story about trolling by Ken Liu
what you are describing is not collusion or market manipulation. If it was, CNBC should be investigated for recommending stocks daily.

random people post analysis and others decide if they agree. Even if there were people saying to buy to cause a short squeeze, that is also perfectly fine. Institutions trade on momentum all the time, that is basically the entire HFT sector. If anything, the people on reddit are even less egregious that wall street because they are doing it in a public forum, where institutions do it in secrecy during three martini lunches or "idea dinners"
Other types of salaried jobs with on-call expectations actually pay overtime. It would be great if software did too.
Congress is famous for being extremely lucky in their trades. Somehow their timing is way better than for common plebes, there's much research around about it. But of course laws are for the little people, including insider trading laws, so...
IMHO it would've been better if they specified some clearly out-of-patent and also simple-to-implement codec like H.261 or MPEG-1 as a minimal requrement.
I get the mechanics of the short squeeze. That's easy.

What I don't get is the memes. WSB has millions of subscribers and appears to be a combination of a weird nihilistic wasteland, populist anger, memes and jokes, and a few people getting rich. What the heck is that?
No, it's because they became a legal risk as they were the primary host of insurrectionists who broke into the Capitol while chanting "Hang Mike Pence!".

Also, private business can do whatever they want. 1st amendment only applies to government not private business.
The bull case is that GME's own online revenue is trending up and that they're well positioned to grow more.

I personally don't buy it, particularly at $300 a share, but GME is not entirely bricks & mortar.
> The only statement I can find from Citadel (hedge fund that invested in Melvin) is from their CEO, saying "Gabe Plotkin and team have delivered exceptional results over the history of Melvin. We have great confidence in Gabe and his team".

That sounds like the kind of thing a GM says a week before they can a couch. If you actually HAVE great confidence, you don't have to say you do. Actions speak.
--- My friend Andrew Left of Citron Capital, who was up 155% last year, was publicly short GameStop, so I called him last night to ask for his thoughts. He had plenty – and gave me permission to share them:
The market has come to its lowest form. This is even crazier than Tilray (TLRY) [see below] and Tesla (TSLA). The Reddit crowd apparently said, "Let's find a company that's completely dead – and because everyone knows that, there's a big short interest – and engineer a short squeeze."
There's not a five-year-old in the country who can kick my ass… but 1,000 of them probably could. That's what happened here.
Even so, my losses have been minimal – and I'm making it back by selling ridiculously priced calls. For example, when the stock was at $75 today, I was getting paid $18 for $90 strike calls and $14 for at-the-money calls that expire on Friday! If you're a professional player, you adjust to the market to make money off it.

>I think the general answer would be no, because at the end this fund would be a bagholder of $350 stock that's worth about $30, and when trying to get rid of it the price would crash down

Explain why they'll be holding $350 stock when the hedge fund who was shorting the stock has obligation to return all the stock that it borrowed. All these stocks will leave them, so why it matters if the stock is $350
Is that actually true, or is it what we've been told to believe by people selling frameworks?
I'd ban them too. Not worth my company being dumped by their cloud provider or the app being banned because they ruffled the wrong feathers.

The parlor lesson has been learned. I won't stick my neck out for principle when it ends up bankrupting my company and having the masses hate me.

Not worth it.
"Prediabetes" is a nice euphemism for being fat that helpfully reminds people directly of the danger of being overweight.

You can improve your health/diabetic markers by experimenting with any or all of the following things:

1) Intermittent fasting: reduce your daily period of eating to a 6 or 8 hour window. 16/8 or 18/6. The number of hours without food or sugar or cream or diet pop versus the window of hours that you're allowed to eat during.

2) Water Fasting: Skipping food altogether. For example, a 32 hour fast. Eat dinner, then go the entire next day without food, and then eat breakfast. Regularly doing a 32 hour fast once a week can be incredibly effective. Or do a longer fast once every few months.

3) Low carb (< 20 grams), medium protein, high fat diet. Keto diet.

Why do these things help? Adult onset diabetes generally traces back to insulin sensitivity, and too much insulin in the body. Reducing the amount of insulin in your veins, reducing the insulin spikes, etc all help the body recover back to health.

Highly recommend checking Dr Jason Fung's youtube videos or book.
Would you consider rice to be "whole food plant based"? Populations that eat rice as a staple tend to get diabetes.
Retail buying frenzy. PLTR has become a meme stock.
Agreed, it's a totally made up reason. I do wonder if there wasn't some external pressure on Discord to do this.

It's open in the sense anyone can use it. Until then, models of this power were internally available in megacorps alone.
Counterpoint: I use the Circuit Electrique network (owned by Hydro Quebec) and their infrastructure has been great. Level 2 curbside chargers are found throughout the city and they app works fine. There's a few super chargers outside Montreal but nothing worth driving out of the way for.

While digging in to how their network is built, I found out it seem their infrastructure is from AddEnergie, a Quebec company that's also the provider for the eCharge (New Brunswick) and the BC Hydro EV. They have their own consumer brand for home chargers and public charging network across Canada called FLO. They seem to be growing fast (closed their series C last year), their product seems to be pretty good, so it doesn't have to be all terrible.
> Actions speak.

I mean, the action here was Griffin's company investing two billion dollars into Melvin, so that sort of lends credence to the idea that Griffin does have confidence in Gabe and his team.
And what about if you're naturally skinny, despite eating whatever you want, whenever you want? Is it all about being fat?

I don’t fully buy it either but it’s not irrational. GameStop still sells a lot of games. Online is gradually taking over but it has been for what 20 years now and people still go to the store and consoles still have disk drives. B&M is not going away any time soon, and in some ways I think the hardest hits have already come and gone, what’s left now is likely to stay.
The counter culture was a minority. Recognizing that is crucial to understanding the current climate.

It just so happens the creative output from those aligned with that culture has dominated more recent generations(Sesame street, Free Willy, Fern Gully, all that). In a sense "they won". But those not on-board are still around, and there is a lot of resentment.

I'm only 36 and while I was raised on this stuff but even so a LOT has changed and "progressed" from when I was a kid. Can you imagine how much has changed for those who lived through the civil rights movement?
The reason every TV is a smart TV is not because they think you actually want that, but because they make money by selling telemetry on what you watch and serving ads. The margins are TVs are very low and this is where the profit comes from in the industry.

Note that TVs have technology to ID what you watch even if it's just displayed on the screen. This is always on by default, though I think all the TV manufactures do at least claim to let you turn it off.
Sociological studies are not "real" science?
Stories like this would be a game changer for this new company. I genuinely hope they go for it. In a way, it's surprising that there isn't a charity dedicated to this type of effort for drugs considered safe.
>The only reason Gamestop is going up is because of Tulip-mania. It's a classic bubble. Some early people on the hype train reaped eye-popping gains as more jumped on and bid up the price.

A cursory look at /r/WallStreetBets suggests this is statement is mostly wrong. You're suggesting the price is rising due to speculation/hype, but this phenomenon is fundamentally different. The reason for this rally is clearly activistic in nature, an attempt to bankrupt the hedge funds who engage in vulture capitalism.

Some might be greedy, but many aren't trying to make money and greed wasn't the cause of the rally. At the end of all this, there will absolutely be a redistribution of money, but even if the "diamond hands" investors walk home with a loss, they (hopefully) will have strangled a few hedge funds far greedier than the speculators who are taking advantage of this market dynamic.

This is far from a "classic bubble", driven by over exuberance, or a classic squeeze, driven by greed. This is an example of a new phenomenon that will change how hedge funds operate in the future.
You can sue the province too.

However of course consider delays in getting a drug to market aren’t always provincial; Health Canada has their own timelines and schedules for approvals, sometimes it’s faster than in America and sometimes it’s slower.

The difference is frequently you’re forced to sue insurers as they have a profit motive to screw you. The province only cares about getting you healthy within their means.
I was listening to a podcast and they were talking about using semantic HTML instead of piles of divs. One of the things they mentioned was that a survey of public web sites showed that the presence of ARIA in html was usually a sign that a site would have poor usability. Mostly because it's a sign that the site has abandoned standard HTML and went their own way and tried to patch things up by smearing aria properties everywhere.
Why did OP change the title for the worse?
We use python extensively, and I think python's "access control by convention" is pretty great.

The reason for access control is not to protect from malicious programmers -- it is protect from programmers who don't know better and from honest mistakes.

So all you need is a simple rule ("don't access private methods") and now everyone knows which fields are public (and thus are OK to use) and which fields can disappear any moment.

For extra enforcement, you can add pylint to your CI so it flags all the protected accesses. But really, a good team culture is often enough.
> It compared adulthood life outcomes at age 35, including alcohol use, tobacco smoking, illicit drug use, relationship status, financial hardship, depression, anxiety and employment status.

As always, remember that correlation is not causation.

For example, maybe people with depression or anxiety are using cannabis to self-medicate.
I'd say that it's always been about the long run; however, with (real) rates around, say, 5%, as in the 90s, what matters for the present value is mostly within the next 20 years. With rates about 1%, what happens after the next 50 years still determines more than half of your PV.
I believe that this is correct. The parent comment sounds very sure of themselves but I don't think the statement "there will always be more shares held long than short" is necessarily true.
> But it seems that the definition of negative evidence is telling the child "no" and then correcting them.

The video goes through several examples from peer-reviewed studies, and several of them involve "repeating back the correct sentence". In fact while the video did mention the fact that saying "no" just makes communication harder, the majority of the video is explaining why giving corrected examples of grammar doesn't necessarily help.

The video talks about your approach specifically here[1].

> I know of no other way for a young child to learn than to hear it spoken more.

That is true, but repeating back a specific sentence is not necessarily the most effective manner of helping them acquire an aspect of grammar. Language acquisition isn't a conscious process, so focusing on a mistake doesn't help -- and repeating a sentence with correct grammar is only a single example of that particular grammar concept, which the child still needs to hear many more times before they actually acquire.

It should also be noted that one of the studies (looking at what sentences parents would correct) found that "there is not even a shred of evidence that approval and disapproval are contingent on syntactic correctness". So it's quite likely that you aren't actually correcting grammatical mistakes -- most of the time you're probably correcting sentences with incorrect meaning and pronunciation.

I mean, it probably doesn't hurt or anything, it's just probably not as helpful as you might think it is.

Excellent satire!
> The only reason Gamestop is going up is because of Tulip-mania. It's a classic bubble.

If only. This has no signs of being "classic". People on WSB realize that if many people purchase and hold on to GME stock for long periods of time, there will be an increase in stock price. If/when this occurs, this increases the annual cost for GME short sellers through increases in both Margin Interest and Stock Borrowing Costs, which is a direct percentage of the GME stock price. This depends on the short type, but either by a certain timeframe or if the lender desires, short sellers will be forced to buy back their GME stocks. Buying back GME can also be forced through a Margin Call. When this happens, you will see a short squeeze.
Best way to sum this article: correlation does not imply causation.

It is implying people who are regular users, are masking deeper psychological issues without going further into what the "harmful" effects are, of course if anyone is abusing anything it is because of a deeper problem.
Many of the people who are enthusiasts for the GPL should be similarly enthusiastic about the copyleft protections afforded by the SSPL. It, like the GPL, discourages commercial use by encouraging users of the software to open source any software they want to build on top of this software.

RMS would not be upset that the GPL poisons the well because companies don't want to open source their code, RMS would say they are denying user freedoms by failing to open source their code. The SSPL merely builds on this.

The only real sticking point here seems to be the OSI, and probably some manner of lobbying by tech firms to keep the SSPL from being accepted more widely as an open source license.
If you're on HN, chances are, you're not very correlated to the sample from this research study... which looks entirely at correlation, not causation. I'm interested in a long-term study that identifies real differences in health outcomes, not just population bias.

>> We are pleased to have the opportunity to invest additional capital and take a non-controlling revenue share in Melvin Capital

Haha, seems to me like other funds are taking advantage of Melvin's position to buy up some of Melvin on the cheap. All those hedge funds must love the squeeze!
Drugs in countries like Tanzania are cheap because drug companies don’t think they can get more money out of it, it’s more of a charity project. They offer them to developing countries well below cost - Tanzania is the 15th poorest country in the world with a GDP per capita of $500 (2011). It’s not an example of a free market.
Perhaps classic is a bridge too far, but it is certainly a bubble!
Setting aside the Dropbox-proprietary services, I'd be most interested to see what features/categories you picked from the file metadata, how those were prepped or rotated for training, what training/prediction algorithms you tried and how you picked a winner. Also curious to see the note that observing the "reason" was important here--isn't this a case where a total black box would be sufficient?
Yes, exactly. Real science does repeatable experiments. Humans are all different. There is no true control.
"Consequences" sure does imply causation, but this doesn't say that. It says "linked to negative life outcomes" which sounds a lot more like correlation to me.
I'm one of the many folks who experience strong flu like symptoms during fasting. I used to fast 1x-4x a month for a decade or so and it never improved. Productivity was impossible; I just wrote-off the entire day.
The revolution always devours its children. One of my favorite aphorisms is:

>Don't put your faith in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions.

What happened to Georges Danton, the thunderous voice of the early French Revolution? How about Toussaint L'ouverture, avenger of the New World? Even Simon Bolivar and Manuela Saenz left behind a fractious group of nation-states.

The US is kind of an aberration in that regard, but even Ben Franklin cautioned that "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

The funny thing is, if you extend that metaphor to big tech companies like FAANGs, then they would be the early revolutionaries who are about to get devoured. And that metaphor would fall apart quickly, because those companies have never professed to be revolutionary harbingers of a new and improved world.
There’s already ways to give negative feedback on a comment. You can downvote or flag, or even just collapse a comment so it doesn’t bother you. It comes off as presumptuous when people point at rules, thereby pulling the thread into a tangential meta conversation.
Regulations (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/regsho.asp) exist to prevent more shares being shorted than exist. However, those lending out shares to be used in a short can demand them back. Also, banks might demand you put up more capital as a stock you shorted increased in value. But I wanted to clarify that there are regulations such that you can't short a stock out of thin air, the stock you're shorting must be "located". Making shorting completely illegal would likely lead to irrationally high values in the market, creating more bubbles like this one.
"bilking investors?" Gamestop is a mature company in a mature industry w/ 20 years of annual reports, earnings releases, investor calls, SEC filings, etc. There's far more information upon which to make a decision about Gamestop than virtually any IPO, or tons of low-float, low-volume stocks out there. Could easily say you know way more about Gamestop future prospects than Uber, Airbnb, Beyond Meat, plenty more.
Interior designers know their limits too. For example a good one won't try to move walls without consulting an engineer.

I think that's somewhat like what the relationship between designers and developers should be.

As far as infant mortality and life expectancy, the picture is a lot more complicated than you portray.

The US is including in their life expectancy data cases of stillbirths or nonviable fetuses at birth, which are not recorded in EU numbers, for example.

" measurement problems arise in international comparisons because the data are not consistently gathered or reported. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) has a formal definition of what should be included in the infant mortality statistics, anecdotal evidence suggests that countries do not use consistent practices in measuring these data (Haub and Yanagishita, 1991; Hartford, 1992).
